Overview
Congenital rubella syndrome is rare in developed countries due to their strong routine immunization programs . It continues to be endemic in many parts of the world.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Developed Countries
Since 2001, the annual numbers of rubella cases have been low in United States ( 23 in 2001, 18 in 2002, 7 in 2003, and 9 in 2004). Nearly half of these cases are among the people who are born outside of US.[1]

It is estimated that more than 100,000 infants are born with CRS annually worldwide.[2] According to a survey of the member countries in the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of countries that have incorporated rubella-containing vaccines into their routine national immunization programs increased from 83 (13% of the birth cohort) in 1996 to 130 countries (40% of the birth cohort) in 2010.
